Originally designed by the Indianapolis architect Leighton Bowers, it uses both the Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles. It was dedicated in November 1941, right before the U.S. entered WWII. It was hailed as one of the Midwest’s finest fire stations, with its simple geometry, and the innovative use of glass bricks in the curved wall. It withstood 47 years of continuous use before renovation started in 1989. James k. Paris and Nolan Bingham were in charge this time around, and came from a Columbus architecture firm. They tried to use the buildings original strong, simple lines of the design. They used different colors of glass in the addition to reaffirm the horizontal orientation of the original. As well as trying to match the limestone and brick of the original building. Additions include living, kitchen and lounge space in between the original apparatus bay, and the new pull-through apparatus bay. The second floor sleeping area was given a skylight that runs the entire length of the corridor, to provide natural light. The new administrative offices are located now on the west side of the firehouse.
